Obama Administration Wants "Toyota Laws" To Be Approved Before Year End

A top Senate Democrat and the Obama administration's top auto safety official want Congress to approve a sweeping overhaul of the nation's auto safety regulations before lawmakers adjourn this year.

The more stringent regulations under consideration include higher penalties for automakers who fail to follow safety laws and a requirement for new vehicles to have event data recorders, also known as black boxes, by the 2015 model year, according to a 51-page draft obtained by The Detroit News.

Don't be mad at Obamma, he is just the mascot, Obamma also promised to pull the troops out of Iraq within a month if he was elected, so who is running the country? Why don't we vote for the people that have the power instead? Kennedy tried to pull the strings, and look at what America did to him.
